The new bill largely retains the MAP 21 program structure with the exception of creating a new categorical program for goods movement. The main uncertainty clouding the bill’s prospects is that its inflation adjusted funding levels rely on a significant infusion of new revenue from a source yet to be determined. Jurisdiction for that funding discussion belongs to the Senate Finance Committee.

Perhaps the United States is less divided than some maps would lead us to believe.":1,"#While we are on the subject of elections, the “Popular Vote Density Map” attempts to convey a more nuanced view of the recent presidential contest than the ubiquitous red/blue state map. The typical statewide or county-wide red/blue map (shown at left) depicts presidential voting results on a winner-take-all basis, so they award an entire geographical area to the Republican or Democratic candidate no matter how close the actual vote tally.":1,"#Yesterday, I traveled to San Diego to join my colleagues from the four largest metropolitan planning organizations in California as we continue to compare notes on our efforts to comply with Senate Bill 375 (Steinberg).

As advertised in its name, the SAS is now supporting itself through the interconnected system of the main cable, suspender ropes, and anchorage at the eastern end of the span.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the auction was the relatively low price of $10.09 established per ton of carbon, which is only nine cents higher than the $10 minimum set by ARB. Some analysts attribute the relatively low price to the legal uncertainty clouding the program due to recent litigation filed by the California Chamber of Commerce.":1,"#Inaugural Cap & Trade Auction":1,"#We have been notified by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) that two MTC projects were selected as winners in TRB’s “Communicating Concepts with John and Jane Q.

Finally, in the Bay Area, we went one for two in self-help sales tax campaigns, with the Napa local road measure winning handily and the Alameda sales tax extension losing by the heart-breaking margin of 0.13% of all ballots cast.

This amount almost doubles the combined infrastructure investment of the European Union (2.6% GDP) and the United States (2.6% GDP). In fact, it far exceeds what any other country or region spends; China’s infrastructure spending is twice the level of India, and more than four times that of Latin America. In the U.S., the largest share of infrastructure spending is towards Roads, followed by Transit and Water. According to the Congressional Budget Office, between 2003 and 2007, public spending on transportation and water infrastructure declined by $23 billion, or 6 percent. That decline, which reflects a decrease in real capital spending, especially by the federal government, stands in contrast to the fairly steady increase in spending for such infrastructure during the previous two decades.":1,"#MTC’s <a ljsid-1=\"\">2012 Annual Report</a> featuring the new regional headquarters facility at 375 Beale Street in San Francisco has won a gold medal from the League of American Communications Professionals.
